RACINE — Second graders at Racine Unified School District (RUSD) may be young, but they have their own ideas and thoughts on love.
This Valentine’s Day, these sweet second-graders share what love is and what it means to them.
What is love?
“It’s filling someone’s bucket,” said one student featured about what love is.
Others described it as happy, caring, and it can even make someone cry happy tears.
Is love important?
All the students featured agreed that love is important.
One second grader explains that love “makes people very happy.”
What is romance?
When asked what romance is, students at RUSD weren’t exactly sure what romance was, but their genuine reactions are sure to make viewers smile this Valentine’s Day.
One student is sure to shock you with her answer, though. At 1:40, this wise-beyond-years student said, “You’re going out to dinner, and you’re having the moment of your life.”
